When individual molecules are not permanently magnetized, it is possible in
some cases to have a relative magnetic permeability u which is less than one.
Such a material, like hydrogen or BISMUTH, is called diamagnetic. It tends to
expel magnetic field, and is repelled from regions of stronger magnetic field.
The names paramagnetic and diamagnetic are sometimes confused: paramagnetic is
analogous to a dielectric in an electric field, while diamagnetic is quite the
opposite.
It is not possible to give a simple argument of why diamagnetism can occur. it
is strictly speaking a quantum effect. However, one can see that there might
be diamagnetic tendencies if electric currents can flow within molecules. An
increasing magnetic field always tends to induce currents to flow in such a
way as to tend to prevent the increase in the field. This is (at least
temporarily) a diamagnetic kind of effect.
Thus the case where the relative magnetic permeablility u < 1, is connected
with the flow of electric charges in a magnetic field. There is no analogous
case with electric fields since isolated magnetic poles do no, so far as is
known exist. - "The New Physics" edited by Paul Davies -----------------------

GE engineer Henry Wallace found unusual gravitational effects in spinning odd
atomic nulceide metals. Odd atomic nucleide metals are those in which the sum
of the protons are not equal to the number of neutrons, i.e. more neutrons.

A while back I had the need to take a peek at a copy of the periodic table of
elements. So I grabbed my old, dusty college chemistry book that I could never
quite bring myself to toss. It's called "Chemical Principles", published WAY
back in 1970. While looking through the book, I was stunned when I came across
a discussion of the possibilities of new elements.
"What lies ahead for the synthesis of transuranium elements? Will there be
more radioactive and extremely short-lived species such as 97 through 104? It
now appears as if there is a chance of reaching a new zone of stability that
might even include some none radioactive elements. Calculations with nuclear
shell models have led to the expectation that element 114, with 114 protons
and 184 neutrons (both magic numbers in the new shell theory) would be an
island of stability in a sea of instability."
I noted that some information was taken from an article in the April 1969
(pages 57-67) issue of "Scientific American" by Dr. Glenn Seaborg. In this
article, there are excellent graphics showing the expected half-lives of all
the heavyweights. They predict a fission half-life for the most stable isotope
of 114 of 10 to the 16th years, and a alpha-decay half-life of 1,000 years.
They didn't go into the same level of detail for 115, but it looks like the
stuff would clock out considerably sooner by way of beta decay. BTW, according
to the article, the proper terminology to denote an undiscovered element in a
periodic column is the prefix "eka". Therefore element 115 should be eka-
BISMUTH. Lose this Un-un-pentium crap! - Tom Mahood
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lazar is not the only one to theorize that the 114/115 area is stable. Check
out the August 31, 1991 issue of New Scientist -- that respected peer-reviewed
periodical. Find Glenn Seaborg's article called "The search for the missing
elements." Seaborg is a renowned scientist who won the Nobel Prize for
Chemistry in 1951. He and his research group at the Lawrence Berkeley
Laboratory have discovered 10 of the transuranium elements. His article is
very technical and interesting, and in it he has two separate graphs that show
islands of stability at the 114/115 area. There is a sea of instability around
these "islands." -------------------------------------------------------------

The Exotic Barium Bismuthates
Authors: A. Taraphder, Rahul Pandit, H.R. Krishnamurthy, T.V. Ramakrishnan
We review the remarkable properties, including superconductivity, charge-
density-wave ordering, and metal-insulator transitions, of lead- and
potassium-doped barium bismuthate. We discuss some of the early theoretical
studies of these systems. Our recent theoretical work, on the negative-$U\/$,
extended-Hubbard model for these systems, is also described. Both the large-
and intermediate-$U\/$ regimes of this model are examined, using mean-field
and random-phase approximations, particularly with a view to fitting various
experimental properties of these bismuthates. On the basis of our studies, we
point out possibilities for exotic physics in these systems. We also emphasize
the different consequences of electronic and phonon-mediated mechanisms for
the negative $U.\/$ We show that, for an electronic mechanism, the \secin
\,\,phases of these bismuthates must be unique, with their transport
properties {\it dominated by charge $\pm 2e$ Cooperon bound states}. This can
explain the observed difference between the optical and transport gaps. We
propose other experimental tests for this novel mechanism of charge transport
and comment on the effects of disorder. --------------------------------------

The following is an excerpt from a telephone interview between Stanton
Friedman (F) and Dr. Robert Sarabacher (S). Sarabacher was a prominent, US
government scientist who had a secret briefing with Canadian scientist Wilbert
Smith in 1950 and told Smith that that facts in a recent popular book about a
UFO crash at Aztec, New Mexico were "essentially true" and that UFO's were
classified by the US government 2 points higher than the H bomb. Sarabacher
died in July 1986. Before Sarabacher died, Stanton Friedman did a phone
interview with him. In between Friedmann's attempts to dig more UFO info out
of Sarabacher, there was a lot of small talk, and since Sarabacher was fairly
old, he tended to ramble a bit. However, a most interesting statement was made
by Sarabacher:
F: Were you guys talking about nuclear powered flight at that time?
S: Oh, we were possibly, yes, but I held, had certain ideas see,
one of the problems today, we really don't know what gravity is. We don't know
and I had an idea, I'm willing to work on it in one of my theses but then my
professor didn't believe me, but I had determined that BISMUTH did not obey
the laws of gravity. So I thought that, "Gee, there's a leak". I might be able
to get nature to tell me something.
So where exactly is Bismuth on the Periodic Table of Elements? Why directly
above where 115 would fall if it exists. And the way the table works,
(generally speaking) elements in the same column have similar properties. So,
just what the hell was Sarabacher referring to? I don't know, but it's sure
intriguing! It appears it was back when he was a grad student, in maybe the
30s or 40s. Whatever it was, it was at the very edge of the ability of
equipment at the time. Does Bismuth possess any very subtle anomolous physical
properties? -- Tom Mahood

In the Wallace patent, #3626606, Figs. 7A and 7B are side views of a gravity-
NEUTRALIZING FLYING SAUCER, or, if anchored to the ground, a ZERO-GRAVITY
CHAMBER. Each oval diagram shows a motor spinning a central disc at a very
high speed, about 28,000 RPM, and also rotating two other discs sandwiched
around the first disc, via gears, at a much slower speed, perhaps 2,800 RPM,
in the opposite direction. The two outer discs have extensions [counter-
balanced via off-center axis] that, as they rotate, alternately make contact
with two wide extensions from opposite walls of the spacecraft. The central
disc should have shallow spiral-shaped grooves on both sides for air-bearings,
to allow the needed very close contact with the two outer discs. Each of the
two outer discs has ONLY ONE [counter-balanced] extension, each one pointed
opposite (180 degrees) the extension of the other disc. The most important
factor making it work is that the discs, extensions, and outer walls of the
spacecraft MUST be made of any material(s) in which a very large majority of
the atoms are of isotopes having "HALF-INTEGRAL ATOMIC SPINS", such as copper
(3/2).

I have an excerpt from a paper presented under the auspices of Northrop Corp.
in 1968 that gives an idea of why you would want to bother with high voltage
fields. To achieve the effects described involved relatively small high
voltage. The true electrogravitational effects are significant at higher E
field strength. In any case, this was only the state of the art in 1968. Their
involvement in the B-2 began much later, after considerably more research.

ELECTRO-AERODYNAMICS: Electric charges are applied to high-speed
vehicles for the purpose of reducing air drag or eliminating sonic booms.
High-speed ions are projected forward from the leading edges of the craft, the
corona glow propagates forward and repels air molecules away from the oncoming
surfaces, thus a shock wave cannot be mechanically produced.
